U.S. women's national team manager Vlatko Andonovski has been busy. In the buildup to USWNT's roster announcement for the Women's World Cup last week, he made "a total of 39 calls" to let players know that they made the 23-player World Cup squad -- or that they missed the cut.
Out of those 39 players, only one who consistently occupies the striker position for both club and country was named to the final squad: Alex Morgan.
Morgan is a true poaching goal-scorer. The 33-year-old makes slashing runs behind the opposing defense and regularly outmaneuvers center backs to find space to shoot inside the box.
